Tongue Twisted

Well, after receiving warming support, I have decided to continue my journal.

I promised a funny story .  Well, it is hilarious still to us and hopefully you will feel the same.

My husband is a wonderful man but he has never had a way with words, frequently getting things around the wrong way or coming out with strange things.  He is not only Dyslexic but I think tonguelexic as well!!!!!

His most embarrassing gaffe (and I have his permission to relate this story) happened one early evening a few years back.  I had seen a video advertised that I quite fancied watching.  I am not usually into sci-fi but this seemed to appeal to me.  So off we went to the local Video store.  Well, the video store is quite large with hundreds and hundreds of titles and I could not find the sci-fi category and was not having much luck locating what I wanted.

The film in question was called "Enemy Mine"  As time was passing and we had not eaten, in desperation I turned to Mike and asked him to go to the counter and ask for it.

Well, he duly marched up to the counter and asked in a very loud voice for a copy of "Enema Nine"!!!!!!!!!!!There was a deathly hush and then the staff broke into gales of laughter as the manager said "I think you might find that under the Adult section".  I had to swiftly explain, with burning face, the real name of the film we wanted.  They gave us a copy and we exited very fast.  Guess who never went back to that shop again.

Mike I love you darling but............

Had to laugh at this, jeanette.  I loved the film 'Enemy mine' I love Science Fiction (provided it's got a story and isn't just 'bug eyed monsters') and that one is a bit 'different'.
